Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive

Thursday 12 November 2009

Welcome back to Radio TF2.

The older among our listeners will remember the disco wave back in the late 70s, probably with as much embaressment as secret nostalgia. And while there were few disco songs about TF2 some of those are amongst the most famous ever.

And next in our program is one of those everlasting gems from the era of mirrorballs and bell bottoms: Gloria Gaynor and “I Will Survive”.

First I was afraidI was petrifiedLooking all around meSeeing who was on my sideBut the game’s about to startNo more time to switch the teamAnd so I calledA medic to team up with meAnd out we went Into the flamesThere was a sentry to our leftSpitting bullets with my nameAnd to the right a soldier launched To attack me from the skyAnd straight ahead I saw a sniper Aiming right between my eyes

But there he wasBehind my backHe’d just told me he were readySo I set out to attackAnd while my teammates died and perishedIt was me who fragged and cherishedYou thought you had meBut now it’s you who’s up to die

Oh no, not II will surviveAs long as our uber lastsI know I will stay aliveI still have my life to liveI’ve got so much death to giveAnd I’ll surviveI will survive

It took all the strength we hadBut then we’d pushed them backAnd we quickly capped the first point with our next attackBut after that we hit a wall when we tried the second pointWe pushed and failedMy teammates faltered and they wailedBut there was IAll glowing blueI brought havoc and destruction to the lot of youHad my medic shielding me and so we turned the table roundYou threw everything at meBut you couldn’t bring me down.

Oh no, not II will surviveAs long as I keep playing smartI know I will stay aliveAnd with this medic by my sideI know it will be alrightAnd I’ll surviveI will survive
